“DRINK SKINNYGIRL�
BETHENNY
The spring is off to a great start. In Huntington, Long Island the Morgan went to a meet and greet with a host of other admirers to support Ms. Bethenny Frankel, and the Skinnygirl Cocktails Brand. Those who came out had an opportunity to sample a variety of cocktails that were available for purchase, and have a picture taken with Bethenny as she autographed the bottles they bought. The atmosphere was fun, and laid back and the bottles girls did a great job of making the experience a pleasant one. Our resident Bartender and author of Behind the Bar loves the Margarita. We highly recommend that you check out the Skinnygirl Cocktails, not just the Margarita but the Pinot Noir, the Bare Naked Vodka and the Sweetarita to name a few. We enjoyed our day in Huntington, Long Island and the Skinnygirl Cocktails.

DEARLISA J
@DearLisaJ
Dear Lisa J, So, I met this amazing guy at work who happens to be my supervisor. I have been dating him for two years. The weird thing about is Iʼve yet to meet any members of his family. I donʼt even really know his friends except for his roommate. We spend a decent amount of time together, he even buys me anything that I want, we go on trips and he has even met my family. One side of me feels like this is the perfect guy for me and the other side feels like I getting kinda played. Whatʼs up with that? -Confused Dater
Hey Confused Dater, Girl, you are nothing but a girl he likes to have fun with. Itʼs been two years and you havenʼt even met his friends and Iʼm sure he has some, at least one more than the roommate. Listen to the inside feeling of being played because you are.
These days guys donʼt want to, nor do they feel they have to make a commitment to women. Most people believe meeting the family and friends is a big step in a relationship, I know I do... I didnʼt have my boyfriend meet my parents until we decided to make things exclusive and we didnʼt become exclusive until four months of dating. You been dating for two years, thatʼs a long time to be in the same position as when you started.
If you donʼt like the way things are then itʼs up to you to make a change. Start with him, by telling him the things you donʼt like and let him know these things need to change. If he doesnʼt change then you need to, by changing the person youʼre dating. -Your Girl Lisa J
IMPROVE YOUR SWAG
MANNERS ! My mum often said manners “maketh” man. Showing a lady some simple courtesy does not make you a punk. It may help to put a smile on her face and if it catches on, help to make the female species just a little happier. Chivalry may not be dead, but it is on life support. Is it the Womanʼs Movement or the Feminist Movement that cause men to move away from manners and common courtesy? Did the male species collectively decide that, since women want to be treated as equals they should be treated with as little respect as possible? Well, not because a woman is strong and independent means that she does not want to be treated with kindness and respect. ! Someone said, you get more with honey than vinegar. Let us give it a try. Yes, she wants a soldier, but one who knows he should remove his hat when indoors. A woman wants to know she is protected, but a gentleman moves the soul. Treating a lady with kindness and respect brings a man loyalty, kindness and love. You say you want a lady in the street and a freak in the sheets, the way to get that is to uplift and encourage and all the benefits of that love will flow from her like rain from the heavens. ! So, how do we get there? With the basic doʼs of simple manners. According to Manners for Men by Michelle J. Hoppe, “A gentlemanʼs duty is always to his lady,” I know you heard this one before, “ he keeps to the curbside of the walk to protect her from the street.”
IMPROVE YOUR SWAG -Guys, always remember, a man never puts
Protect her from the street
out his hand first in a greeting. Wait for the lady. She acts first. Not to mention they don't know where your hands have been. Keep hands clean. -When walking in the street, mum was right when she said take your hands out of your pocket. -No vulgarism in speech, keep it simple the easiest way to sound dumb is to use words in the wrong way. -When you enter a room your lady enters first. -Give your arm to your lady, you know she始s wearing six inch heels. -Don始t forget hold the door, but according to Daniel Post, always ask permission. -Open the car door when she enters and exits.
This is all kinds of wrong, put the phone away
Hold the door let her enter first
Check out the book Essential Manners for Men by Peter Post, it covers everything from texting manners to Facebook and more. All the things mum told us holds true, wash your hands, chew with your mouth closed. "
" Be a gentleman, make her smile start a movement, then see the change in your lady. Now it would not hurt to show your daughters how she should be treated. Lets set the bar high. " I始m not telling you to be anyone but you, but showing a bit of care to the lady in your life is being a better you. There is a lot more advise to be given, there are quite a few references you can find. I thought, if it matters to you, let me tell you something you may or may not have thought about. A little bit of information to improve your swag. Also, to the ladies remember sex is the icing on the cake not the batter from which it is made.
